'Henry Tudor Must Die' - A Discussion with Author Jillian Laine
About this episode
The episode discusses an alternate history where Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn unite against Henry VIII, featuring insights from author Jillian Laine.
What if Henry VIII’s two most famous wives had put aside their differences and joined forces against the man who destroyed both their lives? Imagine Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn — two women who, in real life, became bitter rivals — forming the most unlikely alliance in Tudor history. Well to answer that question, I am joined by author Jillian Laine, whose novel Henry Tudor Must Die brings Catherine and Anne together in an entirely new version of the Tudor story — one where the wives aren't simply victims of Henry's reign, but the architects of his downfall. So sharpen your knives, keep your head down, and prepare for a very different take on the story we know so well.
